    A lot of mechanics would have just replaced the head gasket then told her she also needed to replace the radiator. You seem like a genuinely good and kind person

    So glad to see there are still honest mechanics out there. About 10 years ago my grandparents had their mechanic come check my 97’ Cavalier for a leak. Turned out it needed a radiator. He charged them $50 for the visit and $600 for the job that took him about 45 minutes. The radiator was only $64. After that I swore off calling mechanics and did a lot of learning and online mechanic classes so I could work on all of our cars and do side work. It’s the honesty that keeps people coming back, and it’s not hard to be fair and not scam people.

We got it done and ready to pickup, when the fuse that supplies power to the pedal popped. The potentiometer had shorted out. Took me a hour or so with a scan tool and the customer running around looking for the part that went bad. We did not charge him for that diagnosis or to put the parts on.

    I am just a shade tree guy, but I run into this stuff all the time. Super sad because as some of the other guys have said, an honest mechanic winds up getting fired because he won't play ball. Pisses me right off. Once had a girl told she needed a new motor. She had like 30k miles. It was a Daewoo, so ...but 30k miles and blow by already? It was burning blue smoke but only at high revs. It was a plugged up crankcase valve. Cost 12 bucks and took me like 30 seconds to pop it in. A local shop wanted to charge her over 3 grand and they probably knew damn good and well what it really was.

    @Flippersflops 2 дня назад

    Good honest guy here. Do the math: cost for the parts will run maybe 100 total. He’ll make 100 on the install. The install will probably take maybe 1/4 of his day. At that rate, with a full schedule, he’s grossing 2k per week. I don’t know what his costs are running (gas, tools, certifications/training, etc.), but if he’s banking 50k per year, that’s still not bad considering what working for a typical corporate shop would be like. Good man, and I think he’s got room to grow his pricing and profit margin while remaining very fair.
